• Synchronize the class schedule with our Curriculum Database, including section specific events
• Synchronization of additional instructors and department proxies as members of appropriate course sites
• Automate course provisioning to include
  • Additional LTI tools with custom endpoints
  • Creation of sections and groups
  • Assignment of students to sections and groups
• Allow auditing of the courses -- even after the course is concluded
• Adjustment of other site settings
